scanDecls declared a bare `.fn_decl` via `declareFunction(&fd, ...)`,
where `fd` is the switch-capture COPY of `decl.data.fn_decl`. Its
address is a per-iteration stack temporary, so the winner author's
`fn_decl_fids` entry was keyed by an address no later decl-identity
lookup can reproduce — `fn_ast_map` and `module_fns` carry the stable
`&decl.data.fn_decl`, so a lookup by that pointer missed the winner's
FuncId. fix-0102c routes calls through exactly these stable pointers,
so the key has to match.
Record the entry under `&decl.data.fn_decl` (the persistent AST node
field) to match `fn_ast_map`/`module_fns`. The other declareFunction
sites already pass stable pointers (const_decl field, module_fns entry,
fn_ast_map entry, struct-method node field, heap-synthesized objc decl);
`lowered_fids` keys by FuncId value, so neither has the temporary-address
mistake.
Strengthen the fix-0102b regression test: assert the identity map
round-trips by the STABLE pointer for BOTH same-name authors — the
winner's `fn_ast_map` pointer resolves to the first-wins FuncId, and the
shadow's `module_fns` pointer resolves to a distinct FuncId. This
assertion fails on the pre-fix code (winner keyed by `&fd` → null) and
passes after. Call resolution unchanged (name path still default).
Gate (this worktree): zig build, zig build test (400/400),
bash tests/run_examples.sh (457 passed) all green.
Second of four fix-0102 sub-steps. Makes function declaration + body
lowering addressable by decl/FuncId IDENTITY instead of name-first-wins,
so two same-name authors can each carry their OWN body in their OWN
FuncId. Purely additive: the existing name path stays the sole resolver,
so the suite is byte-for-byte unchanged (no call rerouting — that is
0102c).
- declareFunction records `*const FnDecl -> FuncId` in a new identity map
(`fn_decl_fids`), alongside the existing name-keyed function table.
- Extract the body-lowering tail of lazyLowerFunction into a reusable
`lowerFunctionBodyInto(fd, fid, name)` that promotes a SPECIFIC extern
stub into a real body by EXPLICIT FuncId — not by name lookup (which
returns the first author). The shared save/restore preamble becomes a
`FnBodyReentry` guard struct, used by both lazyLowerFunction's found
path and the null-FuncId `ns.fn` alias path; issue-0100 F1/F2 behaviour
(own-import source context, block_terminated transparency) is preserved.
- Add `lowerRetainedSameNameAuthors`: walks fix-0102a's `module_fns`,
and for each SHADOWED flat author (a same-name author that is not the
fn_ast_map winner, in a direct flat import of the main file) declares a
fresh same-name FuncId + lowers its body in its own module's visibility
context. FuncId-keyed `lowered_fids` tracks which slots already have a
body. Not invoked during a default compile (the name path stays the
default); 0102c wires it into bare-flat-call routing.
- lower.test.zig: regression that compiles two flat-imported modules each
authoring `greet` and asserts ONE real body before the pass (winner
only; shadow dropped) and TWO distinct non-extern bodies after — the
shadowed author is no longer dropped/extern.
Gate (this worktree): zig build, zig build test (400/400),
bash tests/run_examples.sh (457 passed) all green.
lazyLowerFunction's three exit paths (non-null branch, already-promoted
early return, null-FuncId `ns.fn` qualified-alias branch) each duplicated
the caller-state restore, and the null branch's copy had drifted: it
restored every saved field EXCEPT `block_terminated`. A qualified alias
whose body terminates (e.g. a constant-folded `if true { return ... }`)
leaves `block_terminated = true` after lowerFunction; the null path
returned without resetting it, so the flag leaked into the CALLER's body
lowering and the caller's own trailing statements / `return` were rejected
as dead-after-terminator ("function ... body produces no value").
Fix: collapse the three restores into a single `defer` registered right
after the state is saved, so every exit path restores the identical full
set and the class cannot diverge again. Fields restored on all paths:
current_source_file (F1), scope, func_defer_base, block_terminated (F2),
force_block_value, builder.func/current_block/inst_counter. The
foreign-class / jni-env / pack-mono / inline-return fields already had
their own defers and are unchanged.
Regression: examples/0721-modules-qualified-terminating-callee.sx — a
qualified alias `m.foo` folds `if true { return helper(); }` (helper from
m.sx's own import) and is followed by caller statements + the caller's own
`return 0`. Reports "body produces no value" pre-fix; prints
"terminating-callee: ok" / "after" and exits 0 after. 0719 (collision) and
0720 (F1 own-import visibility) stay green. issues/0100 RESOLVED banner
extended with the F2 follow-up.
The 0100 identity fix registers a namespaced import's own functions under a
module-qualified name (ns.fn) in fn_ast_map WITHOUT an eager declareFunction,
so the alias is lowered through lazyLowerFunction's null-FuncId lowerFunction
path. That path had no Function.source_file to restore (the non-null path does
setCurrentSourceFile(func.source_file)), so the alias lowered in the CALLER's
visibility context. A qualified function that called a helper from its OWN
module's flat import was then rejected "not visible".
Fix:
- ProgramIndex.qualified_fn_source maps each ns.fn alias to its declaring
source file, populated in registerQualifiedFn (current_source_file is
pinned to the decl's source by registerNamespaceQualifiedFns).
- lazyLowerFunction's null-FuncId branch restores that source before
lowerFunction, so ns.fn's body lowers in its own module's context and its
intra-module / own-import callees resolve.
- lowerFunction records Function.source_file = current_source_file on the
freshly-begun function (matching declareFunction), so the lowered alias
carries its own module for diagnostics/emit.
Regression: examples/0720-modules-qualified-own-import.sx — calc.compute (a
qualified alias) calls triple/base from calc.sx's own flat import; reports
"'triple' is not visible" on the attempt-1 code, passes after. 0719's
cross-module dual-parse assertion stays green. issues/0100 RESOLVED banner
extended with the F1 follow-up.
Two modules each exporting a top-level function with the same short name
(std.cli.parse 3-param, std.json.parse 2-param) collided in IR lowering's
bare-name function table. fn_ast_map (name -> AST) was last-wins while
module.functions / resolveFuncByName are first-wins, so importing both and
calling one bound one function's AST against the other's FuncId and tripped
lazyLowerFunction's param-count assert (lower.zig:1606) — reached
unreachable code.
Fix:
- Register a namespaced import's OWN plain functions under their qualified
name (ns.fn) in fn_ast_map, giving cli.parse / json.parse independent
identities. The qualified resolution paths in CallResolver.plan /
lowerCall already prefer ns.fn. NamespaceDecl now carries own_decls
(populated in imports.addNamespace). Generic/comptime/pack/foreign
functions are excluded (they dispatch by monomorphization off the bare
template name); no eager declareFunction (it would resolve types before
the forward-alias fixpoint).
- Make scanDecls' bare fn_ast_map registration first-wins so a later
namespace recursion cannot clobber an earlier (flat) entry, aligning it
with mergeFlat / resolveFuncByName.
Regression: examples/0719-modules-cli-and-json.sx imports both std.cli and
std.json under distinct namespaces and calls both parses; panics pre-fix,
passes after. issues/0100 marked RESOLVED.
Attempt-1 narrowed lowerReturn's target to failableSuccessType(ret_ty) for
every value-carrying failable. That fixed the bare-enum success slot but
introduced two defects (attempt-2 review):
F1 — explicit full failable tuple `return (.v, error.X)` panicked. With the
target narrowed to the value type, the trailing error element no longer
resolved against the error set, leaving an `.unresolved` tuple field that
tripped "unresolved type reached LLVM emission" in backend/llvm/types.zig.
F2 — a `-> (Enum, !E)` body with a comptime parameter is inlined
(lowerComptimeCall), so its success `return .red` took the inline-return path,
which the first cut skipped: it stored `{value, undef}` (error slot undef) into
the inline slot, so the success error slot read garbage at runtime.
Fix: choose the return-expr target via failableReturnTarget(ret_ty, value_node)
— a BARE value resolves against failableSuccessType (real enum ordinal), while
an EXPLICIT full failable tuple literal (arity == full-tuple field count) keeps
the full-tuple target and is forwarded as-is. This applies on the inline path
too, and the inline value-failable return now routes through
lowerFailableSuccessReturn (whose emitTupleRet stores `{value, 0}` into the
inline slot + branches), so the success error slot is 0 there as well.
Regression: examples/1056-errors-enum-value-failable-tuple-and-comptime.sx —
F1 explicit-tuple error return + bare-value success in one fn (no panic, slot 0
on success, tag 1 on error); F2 comptime-param enum value-failable read at
runtime on the success path (cast, bare if, == error.X) + error path. Reads the
slot at runtime so an undef is caught, not masked by the `if !e` proof.
examples/1055 + the original 0097 repro still pass. Gate: zig build 0,
zig build test 0, run_examples.sh 453 ok / 0 failed / 0 timed out.
A `-> (Enum, !E)` `return .variant` lowered the enum literal with
`target_type` set to the full failable tuple `(Enum, !E)` instead of the
success value type. The bare literal resolves its tag against `target_type`;
against a tuple it matched no variant (silent tag 0) and was stamped with the
tuple type, so `lowerFailableSuccessReturn` saw `val_ty == ret_ty` and took the
forwarding branch — returning the half-built `{value, undef}` aggregate and
never appending the `0` error slot. Every runtime read of the slot on the
success path (`cast(s64) e`, bare `if e`, `e == error.X`) saw garbage nonzero;
only the compile-time `if !e` proof masked it. The s32 case was already correct
because integer literals don't resolve variants against `target_type`.
Fix: in lowerReturn, narrow `target_type` to `failableSuccessType(ret_ty)` for
a value-carrying failable before lowering the returned expression. The enum
literal then resolves to its real ordinal and is typed as the value type, so
the success path correctly appends `0`. Forwarding (`return call()` / explicit
`(v, e)`) is unaffected — those still yield a value typed equal to the tuple.
Regression: examples/1055-errors-enum-value-failable-error-slot.sx reads the
error slot at runtime on the success path (cast, bare if, == error.X), checks a
non-zero ordinal (.blue=2, also corrupted to 0 pre-fix), and asserts the error
path still carries the right tag + error_tag_name. Fails pre-fix, passes after.
The shared compile-time integer folder (`evalConstIntExpr`) accepts an
integral float literal/const as an integer leaf (`[4.0]` → 4) and then
applied INTEGER arithmetic to the whole expression — so `5.0 / 2.0` folded
as `divTrunc(5,2)` = 2 instead of float division (`2.5`). The bug fired at
all FIVE unified-rule sites (typed local, field default, param default,
typed const, array dimension), because the typed sites evaluate through
`evalConstFloatExpr` (which delegates the node to the int folder) and the
count sites through `foldCountI64` (int folder first).
Fix at the single root: `evalConstIntExpr`'s `.div` arm refuses to fold a
division whose lhs/rhs is float-valued (`isFloatValuedExpr`), so the value
surfaces through `evalConstFloatExpr` + the unified rule — an integral
quotient (`6.0 / 2.0` → 3) folds, a non-integral one (`5.0 / 2.0` = 2.5,
mixed `5 / 2.0`, float-const `F / G`) errors. Genuine integer `/` (`5 / 2`
→ 2) is unchanged; `*`/`+`/`-` need no guard (they agree between int and
float for the integral operands the int folder ever sees).
`isFloatValuedExpr` judges a const-leaf by VALUE (`moduleConstIsFloatTyped`
recurses into the const's value with the existing cycle-guard frame), so an
untyped float-EXPRESSION const (`ME :: 4.0 + 1.0`, placeholder type s64) is
caught at both the count path and — via `foldComptimeFloatInit`'s guard —
the typed-binding path. A backtick RAW receiver (`` `f64.epsilon ``) is a
field read, not a float limit (is_raw check, issues 0092/0093).
Regression: examples/1147 (negative — `5.0 / 2.0` errors at all five sites
plus untyped float-EXPR const div); 0168 extended (positive — `6.0 / 2.0`,
`12.0 / 4.0`, `[6.0/2.0]`, `xx (5.0/2.0)` → 2); unit tests "the int folder
refuses a FLOAT division" and "moduleConstIsFloatTyped judges a const by
VALUE". specs.md + readme.md state the float-`/` rule.
The compile-time count fold (array dimension / Vector lane / value-param) was
integer-only: it folded a DIRECT integral float literal (`[4.0]`, `[N]` with
`N : f64 : 4.0`) but rejected an INTEGRAL expression built from a non-integral
float-const leaf (`[F + 1.5]` = 4.0, `F : f64 : 2.5`) — and a const folded from
one (`[K]` with `K : s64 : F + 1.5`) — as "must be a compile-time integer
constant". This was the last of issue 0095's five narrowing sites (local /
field / param / const / array-dim) still diverging.
Route the count fold through the SAME compile-time float evaluation the other
four sites use:
- New `program_index.foldCountI64` — the single int-or-integral-float count
fold: `evalConstIntExpr` first, then (only on failure) `evalConstFloatExpr` +
`floatToIntExact`. `foldDimU32` (dim/lane/u32 value-param), the non-u32
value-param gate, and `emitModuleConst`'s integer-const materialization all
delegate to it, so a const's emitted value and its use as a count come from
one fold (no parallel integral check, no two-resolver divergence — issue 0083).
- New `DimU32.non_integral_float` variant carries a non-integral float dim to a
distinct, accurate diagnostic ("array dimension must be an integer, but '2.75'
is a non-integral float") — the cast-escape advice the binding sites give does
not apply in a count position, so the dim wording omits it. `reportDimError`,
the Vector-lane resolver, and the top-level array-alias diagnostic all handle
the new variant, so the DIRECT and type-ALIAS forms emit the identical message.
- `type_bridge.StatelessInner.lookupFloatName` (via `moduleConstFloat`) is the
float twin of its `lookupDimName`, so the registration-time alias path folds a
float-const-leaf dimension to the SAME count as the stateful direct path.
`inline for` range bounds are spec endpoints, not counts (specs.md §2), so they
keep the int-only fold deliberately (no silent-truncation bug there).
Relaxes the F0.4 `examples/1132` wording: a non-integral float const dim now
reports the precise "non-integral float" message (it still errors).
Regression: 0168 (positive — `[F + 1.5]s64`, `[KF]s64`, alias `ArrFE` all fold
to len 4), 1146 (negative — `[F + 0.25]s64` errors), 1132 (precise wording), and
a `foldCountI64`/`foldDimU32` unit test. issues/0095 marked RESOLVED (attempt 4).
specs.md + readme.md state the unified rule across all five sites.
Completes issue 0095: a non-integral float→int narrowing via a FLOAT-const
leaf (`F : f64 : 2.5; y : s64 = F + 0.25` = 2.75) silently truncated to 2.
`evalConstFloatExpr` delegated only INTEGER leaves to `evalConstIntExpr` and
had no float-const leaf arm, so the unified rule never saw the value.
- program_index.zig: add `moduleConstFloat`/`moduleConstFloatFramed` — the f64
twin of `moduleConstInt` (same `isCountableConstType` gate, same cyclic-
definition frame), recovering a numeric module const's value via
`evalConstFloatExpr`. Add `lookupFloatName` to `ModuleConstCtx` and the
`.identifier`/`.type_expr` leaf arms to `evalConstFloatExpr` that call it.
Integer / integral-float leaves keep resolving through the existing
`evalConstIntExpr` delegation, so the unified rule now applies to ANY
compile-time-constant float expression — literal, int-const leaf, float-const
leaf, and combinations — at every binding site.
- lower.zig: add `Lowering.lookupFloatName` delegating to `moduleConstFloat`.
Route `typedConstInitFits`' integral-fold check through `evalConstFloatExpr` +
`floatToIntExact` (the SAME facility `foldComptimeFloatInit` uses) instead of
the int-only `evalComptimeInt`, which folded leaf-by-leaf in i64 and so
rejected an integral SUM built from a non-integral float leaf
(`K : s64 : F + 1.5` = 4.0 now folds; `K : s64 : F + 0.25` errors).
A LOCAL `::` const leaf is a scope ref (not in the const tables) so neither
the int nor float evaluator folds it — float now matches int exactly there.
Regression: examples/1146 (negative) + 0168 (positive) extended with
float-const-leaf cases at local/field/param/const; unit test in
program_index.test.zig covers the leaf resolution (F→2.5, F+0.25→2.75,
F+1.5→4.0). specs.md + readme.md state the rule covers any compile-time-const
float expression incl. float-typed const leaves. issues/0095 banner updated.
Gate: zig build + zig build test green; 447 examples pass, 0 failed.
Completes issue 0095 (attempt 2). The attempt-1 coerce arm only caught a direct
`const_float` literal, so a non-integral const-folded float EXPRESSION still
truncated silently at a typed local / field default / param default:
M :: 2;
local : s64 = M + 0.5; // → 2 (silent truncation — BUG; now ERRORS)
fld : s64 = M + 0.5; // field default — same
take(x : s64 = M + 0.5) // param default — same
while the typed-CONST site already errored. The integral expression
(`M + 2.0` → 4) folded but the runtime/explicit-cast paths must stay untouched.
Fix:
- New `program_index.evalConstFloatExpr` — the f64 counterpart to
`evalConstIntExpr`, delegating every integer subtree back to it (no parallel
integer logic) and adding only the float literal / unary-negate / `+ - * /`
arms. Pure (no diagnostics, no resolution side effects).
- `Lowering.foldComptimeFloatInit` applies the unified rule to a typed-binding
initializer EXPRESSION: an integral comptime float folds to its `constInt`, a
non-integral one errors, a genuine runtime float / `xx`-cast falls through to
the normal path. It runs `evalConstFloatExpr` FIRST (pure) so a `$pack[i]`
argument is never spuriously type-resolved outside an active binding, then
gates on `isFloat(inferExprType)` so a plain comptime int is left alone.
Wired into the typed-local path, the three struct field-default sites (via a
shared `lowerCoercedDefault`), and the call-argument loop (covers expanded
param defaults).
- One `Lowering.diagNonIntegralNarrow` now emits the narrowing wording at all
five sites (coerce arm, global init, const-expr value, the typed-binding
sites, and the typed-const path). The typed-CONST non-integral diagnostic
therefore reads "cannot implicitly narrow non-integral float …" instead of
the stale "initializer is a float literal / floating-point expression".
Tests: examples/1146 (negative) extended with non-integral const-EXPRESSION
cases at local/field/param; examples/0168 (positive) extended with integral
const-EXPRESSION folds and `xx (M + 0.5)` truncation; examples/1143 reconciled
to the aligned const message (G/BAD/BAD2 stay errors); unit test
`evalConstFloatExpr folds comptime float expressions`. Full gate green (447).
Issue 0095: a typed local/param/field silently TRUNCATED a float initializer
to an integer annotation (`y : s64 = 1.5` → 1) with no diagnostic. Agra ruled
the UNIFIED rule (Option B): an implicit float→int in a typed binding behaves
like the array-dimension rule —
- an INTEGRAL compile-time float FOLDS to its int (`4.0` → 4, `-2.0` → -2);
- a NON-integral float is a COMPILE ERROR (`1.5`, `4.5`);
- explicit `xx` / `cast(T)` ALWAYS truncates (the escape hatch).
Applied consistently to typed local / param-default / field-default, typed
module CONST, and array dim — all reusing the single
`program_index.floatToIntExact` / `evalConstIntExpr` facility (no second
integral check).
- `Builder.constFloatInfo` reads a compile-time `const_float` back from its
Ref (value + span).
- `coerceToType` is now the IMPLICIT path: its `.float_to_int` arm folds an
integral const-float to `constInt`, else emits the narrowing diagnostic.
`coerceExplicit` is the raw truncating path; `xx` (lowerXX) and `cast(T)`
route through it so the escape still truncates.
- Field-default lowering (struct-literal pad, named-field default,
buildDefaultValue) now coerces the default to the field type at the IR level
(was silently bit-coerced by emitStructInit).
- Const path: `typedConstInitFits` accepts an integral float (literal or a
`M + 2.0`-style expression folding via `evalComptimeInt`); `emitModuleConst`
/ `constExprValue` / `globalInitValue` fold an integral float to its int and
reject a non-integral one — relaxing F0.7's blanket float rejection.
Tests: examples/0168 (positive: local/field/param/const fold, xx/cast
truncate), examples/1146 (negative: local/param/field error), integral-float
const cases added to examples/0162; non-integral const cases in 1143 stay
errors. specs.md + readme.md document the unified rule, cross-referencing the
array-dim rule. issues/0095 marked RESOLVED.
Migrate lowerAssignment's `.field_access` target onto the shared
`fieldLvaluePtr` resolver, deleting its duplicated union / promoted /
tuple / vector / struct walk. All three lvalue field-store sites —
single-assign, address-of (lowerExprAsPtr), and multi-assign
(lowerMultiAssign) — now resolve through the one resolver, removing the
issue-0083 two-resolver divergence.
Fold vector-lane resolution into `fieldLvaluePtr` (reusing
vectorLaneIndex) so the single resolver covers struct fields, union
direct fields, promoted anonymous-struct union members, tuple elements,
and vector lanes — null only on a genuine miss, which every caller turns
into the read path's `emitFieldError` diagnostic.
`fieldLvaluePtr` now types every field GEP `*field_ty` (the convention
the single-assign path always used), not the bare field value type:
emitStore unwraps one pointer level to find the stored value's type.
The earlier lowerExprAsPtr / lowerMultiAssign walks typed the GEP with
the bare field type, so a field whose own type is a pointer-to-aggregate
(`*Pair`, a two-pointer struct) made emitStore unwrap to the aggregate
and coerceArg's closure auto-promotion store a 16-byte `{ptr,null}`
struct over the 8-byte slot, clobbering the neighbouring field.
Consolidating onto the one `*field_ty` resolver preserves single-assign
and fixes that pre-existing multi-assign / address-of clobber.
The types.zig `.unresolved` tripwire is untouched; no `.s64` / `.void` /
`.unresolved` default remains.
Regression: examples/0167-types-ptr-to-aggregate-field-store.sx (a
`*Pair` field stored via all three lvalue sites leaves the neighbour
intact) + a lowering unit test asserting the `*field_ty` GEP convention.
Completes the issue-0094 fix. attempt-1 made single-assign and address-of
diagnose a missing struct field; the stress-review found two remaining defects
in that change:
1. lowerMultiAssign's `.field_access` target kept the pre-fix shape — a
struct-only loop that defaulted `field_idx 0` / `field_ty .unresolved` on a
miss, then built the GEP and stored unconditionally. A missing field
(`p.q, y = 2, 3`) silently wrote field 0 (printed `x=2 y=3`, no diagnostic),
and a valid promoted-union / tuple member at a non-zero offset corrupted
field 0 instead of its own slot.
2. attempt-1's new union branch in lowerExprAsPtr resolved only DIRECT union
field names, so `@v.x` on a promoted anonymous-struct member reported
"field 'x' not found on type 'Vec2'" even though `v.x = 41` worked.
Both lvalue-pointer sites and the multi-assign store now route through one
shared resolver, `fieldLvaluePtr`, that handles struct fields, union direct
fields, promoted anonymous-struct union members, and tuple elements, and
returns null (no field-0 / `.unresolved` default) on a genuine miss. Each
caller emits the read path's `emitFieldError` on null. This collapses the
three previously-divergent field-lvalue walks into one, fixing the
multi-assign missing-field corruption, the promoted-member over-rejection,
and (as a side effect of correct resolution) non-zero-offset promoted-union
and tuple multi-assign stores. The types.zig tripwire is untouched.
Regression tests:
- examples/1145 extended: multi-assign missing field (`p.r, y`) errors, exit 1.
- examples/0166 (new): promoted union member written and address-of'd,
including a non-zero-offset member (`@v.y`), compiles and runs.
- src/ir/lower.test.zig: multi-assign missing-field field-not-found unit test.
Assigning to a nonexistent struct field (`p.q = 2` where Point has no `q`)
aborted the compiler with the `.unresolved` LLVM tripwire instead of a source
diagnostic (issue 0094). The lvalue field lookup never diagnosed a miss:
- `lowerAssignment`'s `.field_access` target left `field_ty = .unresolved` when
no struct field matched, then built `ptrTo(field_ty)` and stored — so a
pointer-to-`.unresolved` reached LLVM emission and tripped the panic.
- `lowerExprAsPtr`'s `.field_access` fallback returned
`structGepTyped(obj_ptr, 0, .s64, obj_ty)` on a miss — a silent field-0/`.s64`
default that mislowered the lvalue.
Both sites now reuse the read path's `emitFieldError` (the exact facility
`lowerFieldAccessOnType` uses), so read and write reject identically with
`field 'q' not found on type 'Point'`. `lowerExprAsPtr` also resolves
union/tagged-union fields via `union_gep` (the old `.s64` fallback was silently
standing in for union field access — e.g. `u.a[0] = v`), so that path is fixed,
not just made loud. The `types.zig` tripwire is untouched: the fix is to never
produce `.unresolved` for a missing-field store.
Regression tests:
- examples/1145-diagnostics-missing-struct-field-assign.sx — negative, both
sites error, exit 1.
- examples/0165-types-nested-struct-field-assign.sx — positive, nested struct
field write + address-of a matched field still work.
- src/ir/lower.test.zig — lowering unit test asserting the field-not-found
diagnostic for a missing-field assignment.
size_of, align_of, field_count, type_name, type_eq, type_is_unsigned,
and is_flags silently reinterpreted a value argument as a type:
type_is_unsigned(6) read 6 as a TypeId index (types[6] = u8 -> true),
size_of(6)/size_of(true) sized its typeof (8), type_name(6) returned
types[6]'s name. Per Agra's ruling, all 7 now strictly require a type
(compile-time): a value argument is a compile error.
One shared guard (Lowering.reflectionTypeArgGuard, run at the top of
tryLowerReflectionCall) classifies each arg via reflectionArgIsType: a
spelled / compile-time type or generic type parameter (isStaticTypeArg),
or a runtime Type value (static type .any -- type_of(x), a []Type
element list[i], a Type-typed local/field/param) is accepted; anything
else is rejected with "<builtin> expects a type, got '<type>'". The
runtime path for type_name / type_is_unsigned is preserved (the {}
formatter calls type_is_unsigned(type_of(val)) at runtime). The 5
comptime-only builtins stay comptime-only (runtime reflection deferred).
Regression: examples/1144-diagnostics-reflection-builtin-needs-type.sx
(reject cases across all 7, exit 1). Unit test: reflectionArgIsType in
lower.test.zig. specs.md / readme.md document the strict type
requirement (and add the previously-undocumented align_of, type_eq,
type_is_unsigned). issues/0090 RESOLVED banner updated.
Resolves issue 0090. The `{}` integer formatter mis-rendered both ends of
the 64-bit range:
- `int_to_string` computed the magnitude as `0 - n`, which overflows for
`s64::MIN` (its magnitude is unrepresentable as a positive s64) — the
value stayed negative, the digit loop ran zero times, so only `-`
printed. It now extracts digits straight from `n` (per-digit
`|n % 10|`, `n` truncating toward zero), never negating MIN.
- `any_to_string`'s `case int:` formatted every integer as s64, so a u64
all-ones value printed as `-1`. There was no `uint` type-category to
distinguish signedness. Added an additive `type_is_unsigned(T)`
reflection builtin (static fold + dynamic interp/LLVM paths, mirroring
`type_name`), backed by the new `TypeTable.isUnsignedInt` predicate, and
a `uint_to_string` formatter (unsigned decimal via long-division over
four 16-bit limbs). `case int:` routes through `type_is_unsigned(type)`.
The 16-bit-limb split is factored into a shared `decompose_u16x4`, now
reused by `int_to_hex_string` (no second unsigned-math routine).
Regression: examples/0046-basic-int-formatter-extremes pins both extremes
plus a width spread; unit tests cover `isUnsignedInt`. Docs (specs.md
representation note, readme std API) updated for unsigned/extreme `{}`
behavior. IR snapshots refreshed for the two new std functions.
`ExprTyper.inferType`'s binary-op arm inferred every non-comparison op
from the LHS alone, so `M + 0.5` (s64 + f64) statically typed as s64
while `0.5 + M` typed as f64 — operand-order-dependent. The value path
(`lowerBinaryOp`) already promoted int×float → float, so static
inference disagreed with the value: `M + 0.5` formatted as a truncated
int and a typed const `BAD : s64 : M + 0.5` was accepted+truncated
(issue 0088 mixed-numeric escape).
Extract the value path's inline promotion into a shared
`Lowering.arithResultType(lhs, rhs)` and reuse it at both sites, so
arithmetic / bitwise / shift inference reports exactly the type the
lowered value carries — int LHS × float RHS → the float, order-
independent. The value-path behavior is unchanged (the block is moved
verbatim into the helper), so no IR shifts; the suite stays green. The
typed-const validation reuses `inferExprType`, so this auto-closes the
escape with no change to the validation logic.
- examples/1143: BAD/BAD2 (`s64 : M + 0.5`, `s64 : 0.5 + M`) rejected
in both operand orders.
- examples/0162: MF/MFR (`f64 : M + 0.5`, `f64 : 0.5 + M`) fold to 2.5.
- examples/0163 (new): pins the inference fix in a value context
(`print("{}", n + 0.5)` formats the float, both orders, +-*/, f32).
- expr_typer.test.zig: arithResultType + mixed-arithmetic inference.
- specs.md / readme.md: document the numeric-promotion rule.

Attempt 1 rejected only LITERAL initializers that mismatch a typed module
const's annotation; a const-EXPRESSION initializer escaped, so the same
issue-0088 root remained for `M :: 2; N : string : M + 2` — accepted at exit 0,
folding `[N]s64` to 4 and printing N as an integer.
Root cause: `registerTypedModuleConst` validated only the enumerated literal
node kinds; any other kind fell through to `else => {}`, and pass 0
pre-registers binary_op/unary_op consts as a `.s64` placeholder that was never
reconciled with the annotation.
Fix — validate by TYPE, not by node kind:
- lower.zig: `registerTypedModuleConst` now covers literals AND const-expressions
(binary_op/unary_op) through one path. `typedConstInitFits` keeps the literal
arms and routes any non-literal through the new `constExprInitFits`, which
compares the initializer's INFERRED type (`inferExprType`, the existing
type-inference facility — no second const evaluator) to the annotation with the
same integer/float compatibility. A mismatch emits the `type mismatch` diagnostic
(a const-expression is described by its inferred type, e.g. "an integer
expression") and evicts the pass-0 placeholder; a match registers the const at
its resolved annotation type (the same `put` the literal path always did), so a
const-expression folds and emits at its declared type.
- `literalKindName` → `initializerDescription` (+ `constExprDescription`) so the
message is accurate for both a literal and a const-expression initializer.
Regression:
- examples/1143: extended with `E : string : M + 2` and `V : string : -M`
(const-expr mismatches → exit 1, pinned diagnostics).
- examples/0162: extended with `KE : s64 : M + 2` (used as a count + printed) and
`WE : f32 : M + 2` (over-rejection guard — valid const-exprs still work).
- program_index.test.zig: count-gate test extended with a binary_op value node
declared `string` (must not fold as a count).
Docs: specs.md §3 + readme.md generalized from "initializer literal" to cover
constant expressions; issues/0088 RESOLVED banner updated.
A typed module-level constant whose initializer did not match its
annotation was silently accepted: `N : string : 4` compiled, then
`print(N)` segfaulted (an integer emitted as a `string` const → a bogus
pointer) and `[N]s64` folded `N` to 4 as an integer count. Issue 0088.
Root cause: `registerTypedModuleConst` stored the annotation type but never
validated the initializer literal against it, and
`program_index.moduleConstInt` folded a const into a count by inspecting
the initializer node alone, ignoring `ModuleConstInfo.ty`.
Fix at the declaration (kills both symptoms):
- lower.zig: `registerTypedModuleConst` now validates the initializer via
`typedConstInitFits` (arms mirror `emitModuleConst`'s faithful-emit
precondition: int→int/float, float→float, bool→bool, string→string,
null→pointer/optional, `---`→any). A mismatch emits a `type mismatch`
diagnostic at the initializer span and does not register the const (also
evicting the pass-0 placeholder). Not routed through
`coercionResolver().classify`: that runtime-coercion planner is unsound
here (null's natural type is void → false-rejects `*T`; bool is 1 bit →
false-accepts s64).
- program_index.zig: `moduleConstInt` now takes the `TypeTable` and gates
the fold on `isCountableConstType(ci.ty)` (integer of any width, or a
float), so a non-numeric typed const can never fold into a count off its
initializer node. Callers in lower.zig and type_bridge.zig updated.
Regression:
- examples/1143-diagnostics-typed-module-const-mismatch.sx (negative, exit 1)
- examples/0162-types-typed-module-const-roundtrip.sx (positive)

Docs: specs.md §3 Constant Binding + readme.md note the compatibility rule.
Writing a Vector lane (`v.x = …`, `.y/.z/.w` + colour aliases) panicked
with "unresolved type reached LLVM emission". The store path had no
vector branch: a `.field_access` target on a Vector fell through to
struct-field lookup, matched nothing, left `field_ty = .unresolved`, and
built a `ptrTo(.unresolved)` that tripped the LLVM emission guard. The
read path resolved the lane fine — the two had diverged (issue-0083
two-resolver class).
Extract a shared `Lowering.vectorLaneIndex` resolver and route BOTH paths
through it. The read path (`lowerFieldAccessOnType`) delegates to it,
dropping its silent `else 0` fallback. A new vector branch in
`lowerAssignment` GEPs a typed pointer to the lane (`structGepTyped`) and
stores via `storeOrCompound` (plain + compound). `emitStructGep` now
addresses a vector base type with a `[0, lane]` GEP. A non-lane field now
reports field-not-found on both paths instead of silent-lane-0 / panic.
Regression: examples/1506-vectors-lane-store.sx (panicked pre-fix, now
reads back written values) + a vectorLaneIndex unit test. Resolves issue
0086; spec documents element assignment.
The issue-0092 fix guarded the numeric-limit accessor intercept against
raw value shadowing using only lexical Scope.lookup. The ordinary
identifier field-access path resolves a value through THREE sources
(scope / program_index.global_names / program_index.module_const_map),
so a backtick raw identifier bound at module scope — a global
`` `f64 := Box.{…} `` or a module constant `` `f64 :: Box.{…} `` — still
folded `` `f64.epsilon `` to the numeric limit instead of reading the
value's field (issue 0093, plus the module-const variant: same root
cause, same fix).
Fix: a single shared helper Lowering.identifierBindsValue(name) that
returns true when the name resolves through scope OR global_names OR
module_const_map. Used in BOTH lowerNumericLimit (lower.zig) and the
numeric-limit inference arm (expr_typer.zig) so the two resolvers can't
desync (issue-0083 class). A bare `f64.epsilon` / `s32.max` (a
.type_expr receiver) still folds even when a raw value of the same
spelling is bound — the bare receiver is never value-shadowed.
- examples/0161: extended to exercise all three binding kinds — a
GLOBAL `` `f32 ``, a MODULE-CONST `` `s16 ``, and LOCAL
`` `f64 ``/`` `s32 ``/`` `u8 `` — each reading its field while the
bare spelling still folds.
- src/ir/expr_typer.test.zig: unit test pinning the global +
module-const sources of the shared guard.
- issues/0093: RESOLVED banner (3-source root cause + fix, module-const
variant folded in).
- specs.md / readme.md: numeric-limit shadow note now source-agnostic
(local / global / module-const).
The numeric-limit accessor intercept (NL.1 integer `.min`/`.max`, NL.2 float
`.epsilon`/`.min_positive`/`.true_min`/`.inf`/`.nan`) treated ANY receiver
whose text matched a builtin numeric type name as a TYPE receiver, without
first checking for an in-scope VALUE binding. An F0.6 backtick raw identifier
(`` `f64 := … ``) binds a local under the stripped name `f64`; field access on
it (`` `f64.epsilon ``) parses as an `.identifier` receiver, which the intercept
silently folded to the type's numeric limit — a silent-wrong-value bug
(issue 0092).
Fix: for `.identifier` receivers, prefer an in-scope value binding
(`Scope.lookup`) over the fold — defer to ordinary field lowering when the
identifier resolves to a value. `.type_expr` receivers are unambiguous types
and are never shadowed, so a bare `f64.epsilon`/`s32.max` still folds even in a
scope where `` `f64 `` is bound (the parser classifies a bare builtin name as a
`.type_expr`). Mirrored in expr_typer.zig so inference matches lowering
(avoids the issue-0083 two-resolver desync). Float-only-on-int and
non-numeric-receiver errors are unchanged.

Closes the remaining three F0.6 findings so the universal backtick raw
identifier holds in BOTH classifiers and at EVERY parser construction site.
1. Struct-body constants thread is_raw + name_span. The struct-body const
forms (untyped `` `s2 :: 5 `` and typed `` `s2 : T : v ``) built the
const_decl node without name_span/is_raw, so a backtick const was falsely
rejected and a bare reserved-name const caretted at 1:1. They now capture
both. Structural cure: `ast.ConstDecl`'s name_span + is_raw carry NO
default, so the compiler rejects any construction site that omits them
(mirrors checkBindingName's required `is_raw` arg). FnDecl keeps its
defaults — every parser fn_decl routes through parseFnDecl whose
`name_is_raw` is a required parameter (equivalent guarantee).
2. Raw identifier in TYPE position flows through the normal continuations.
parseTypeExpr no longer returns a terminal type_expr for a raw atom; the
raw flag rides the atom through the qualified-path / Closure / parameterized
continuations, so `` `s2(s64) ``, `` *`s2 ``, `` ?`s2 `` all parse.
ParameterizedTypeExpr carries is_raw; resolveParameterizedWithBindings
skips the `Vector` intrinsic when raw.
3. sema/LSP (the second classifier) honors is_raw. Type.fromTypeExpr returns
null for a raw type_expr; resolveTypeNode skips the builtin classifier when
raw; resolveTypeNameStr takes a skip_builtin arg threaded from te/id.is_raw
(compound inner names pass false). A backtick reserved-name annotation now
resolves to the user type in the editor index, not the builtin.
Tests: examples/0156 (struct-body const), 0157 (parameterized raw type +
wrappers), 1142 (bare struct-body const errors, caret on name); src/sema.test.zig
pins the LSP raw-type resolution (fail-before verified). Gate: 365 unit tests,
429 examples, 0 failed.
AGRA ruling (attempt 4): `` `name `` is THE LITERAL identifier `name`, usable in
EVERY position — the backtick only means "treat this token as a plain identifier,
never the reserved keyword/type", and is never part of the name's text.
- Raw in TYPE position is now VALID (reverses attempt-2 "raw is not a type"):
`parseTypeExpr` emits a raw `type_expr`; `TypeResolver.resolveNamed` gains a
`skip_builtin` flag (threaded from `te.is_raw` via lower.zig + type_bridge) so a
`` `s2 `` reference resolves to a `` `s2 ``-declared type (struct/enum/union/alias),
else a normal "unknown type 's2'" error (reportIfUnknownType skips the builtin
exemption when raw). Bare `s2` in type position stays the builtin int.
- Every declaration-name site is is_raw-exemptible: `is_raw` added to TypeExpr +
StructDecl/EnumDecl/UnionDecl/ErrorSetDecl/ProtocolDecl/ForeignClassDecl/UfcsAlias/
NamespaceDecl/ImportDecl/CImportDecl/LibraryDecl; parser threads name_is_raw to
every decl parse fn; namespace imports carry it through imports.addNamespace.
Typed-const path (`` `s2 : s64 : 5 ``) now threads name_span+is_raw (fixes the
1:1-caret bug).
- Check<->exemption made structurally symmetric: checkBindingName/checkDeclName take
is_raw as a REQUIRED argument and skip inside the check, so no call site can
validate a name without honoring the exemption (the desync cause of prior rounds).
- Bare reserved-name declarations of every kind still error (0076 preserved);
`#import c` foreign names stay auto-raw + bare-callable.

rewritten. Examples: replace 1139 (raw-not-a-type) with 0154 (raw type reference);
add 0155 (typed const + union tag) and 1141 (bare type-decl negatives).
Gate: zig build + zig build test + run_examples (426 passed, 0 failed).
A bare reserved-type-name `::` declaration was silently accepted, and the
attempt-2 lowerCall rewrite then made a bare `s2 :: (…) {…}` function callable —
bypassing the backtick rule for handwritten sx. The reserved-name binding check
covered `:=` / typed-local / param / captures but NOT the `::` declaration form.
- ast: `ConstDecl`/`FnDecl` carry `is_raw` + `name_span` threaded from the parser
(parseConstBinding / parseFnDecl, all call sites incl. struct/impl methods).
- semantic_diagnostics: reject a bare reserved spelling at EVERY declaration-name
site — const, function (incl. struct/impl methods), struct/enum/union/error-set,
protocol, foreign-class, ufcs alias, namespaced/library/c-import name. Backtick
(`is_raw`) and the compiler's `#builtin` definition (`string :: []u8 #builtin`)
are the only exemptions; a value whose node is itself a named decl defers to
that node's own check.
- c_import: synthesized foreign fn_decls are `is_raw = true`, so a C function
whose own name collides with a reserved spelling (`int s2(int);`) imports and
bare-calls unedited.
- lower: scope the `.type_expr`→`.identifier` call rewrite to a callee FnDecl of
RAW provenance (`is_raw`) — only a backtick / `#import c` foreign fn can carry a
reserved-name spelling, so a non-raw match never gets rewritten.
- examples: 0153 (positive — backtick `::` const + fn, bare + tick call), 1140
(negative — bare `::` const + fn rejected).
- docs: specs.md + readme.md state the backtick is required at every binding site
including `::` const / function / type declarations; issue 0089 banner updated.
Completes the issue-0089 backtick raw-identifier / `#import c` exemption
across all remaining identifier positions and closes three boundary gaps
the F0.6 review found.
1. Exhaustive raw-binding coverage. The `is_raw` bit now threads through
`ast.Identifier` and EVERY binding/capture form — `IfExpr`/`WhileExpr`
optional bindings, `ForExpr` capture + index, `MatchArm` capture,
`CatchExpr`/`OnFailStmt` tag bindings, `DestructureDecl` per-name, and
the protocol-default-body / foreign-class method param lists — not just
`var_decl`/`param`. `UnknownTypeChecker` skips the reserved-name check at
each arm when raw, so a backtick works in every identifier position while
a bare reserved spelling still errors (issue 0076 preserved).
2. Raw identifier is never a type. `parseTypeExpr`'s atom rejects a raw
identifier in type position (`x : `s2 = 1`, `List(`s2)`) with an accurate
diagnostic instead of silently type-classifying it.
3. Reserved-name function bare-callable. A bare `s2(4)` parses its callee as
a `.type_expr` (reserved spelling); `lowerCall` now rewrites a type_expr
callee to an identifier when a function of that name is in scope, so a
backtick-declared sx fn and a `#import c` foreign fn whose C name collides
with a reserved type spelling both resolve by their bare name.
(`TypeName(val)` is not a cast, so there is no ambiguity.)
Tests: examples/0152 (every control-flow/capture form + bare ref/call/member
access), examples/1054 (catch/onfail tag bindings), examples/1139 (raw in
type position rejected), examples/1220 extended (foreign reserved-name
function bare-call). 0076 negatives 1119/1121/1122/1123/1124/1125 stay green.

A field-like access on a builtin INTEGER type name folds to a compile-time
constant of the queried type, driven by (width, signedness) arithmetic:
sN: min=-(2^(N-1)), max=2^(N-1)-1; uN: min=0, max=2^N-1
for every width s1..s64 / u1..u64 (not just power-of-two), plus usize/isize.
- type_resolver.zig: extract the single width parser (parseWidthInt) reused by
resolveNamed AND the new accessors (no second parser — issue-0083 class);
add resolveBuiltinName / integerWidthSign / integerLimitBits / integerLimitFor.
- lower.zig: lowerNumericLimit intercept beside the error.X / Struct.CONST /
pack-arity identifier-receiver intercepts; folds ints via constInt, emits a
clean diagnostic for a non-numeric receiver (bool/string/void/Any/noreturn),
falls through for floats (NL.2).
- expr_typer.zig: mirror the result type so inferExprType reports the queried type.
- program_index.zig: recognize the accessors in the comptime-int / array-dim path
so [u8.max]T (255) / [s16.max]T (32767) work; [u64.max]T is rejected oversized.
- u64.max / usize.max stored as the all-ones bit pattern with TYPE u64 (i64 -1),
asserted via union { u: u64; s: s64 } reinterpret.

A failed value-param bind on a type-returning function (e.g.
`MakeC :: ($K: Count, $T: Type) -> Type { return [K]T; }` with
`a : MakeC(5_000_000_000, s64)`) emitted its correct range diagnostic
but then `instantiateTypeFunction` returned `null`, so
`resolveParameterizedWithBindings` fell through to an empty-struct
placeholder named after the function. The binding `a` got that
placeholder type, so a later `a.len` cascaded a bogus second error
`field 'len' not found on type 'MakeC'`.
The struct binder (`instantiateGenericStruct`) already returns
`.unresolved` here; the type-fn binder now matches it — a failed
value-param bind poisons to `.unresolved` instead of `null`, so the
caller propagates the diagnosed poison and the existing
`emitFieldError` suppression yields one clean diagnostic. Covers
every type-fn value-param failure mode: overflow via an aliased
constraint, a non-const arg, and an unknown type arg.
Regression: examples/1137-diagnostics-value-param-type-fn-no-cascade.sx
Three adjacent cells of the shared count surface still diverged from the
rest; all now route through the same leaf+fold+narrow+diagnose path.
1. Aliased integer constraint bypassed the value-param range gate — only
builtin constraint names matched intTypeRange, so Box(5_000_000_000)
with `$K: Count` (Count :: u32) compiled and bound a truncated value.
resolveValueParamArg (shared by both the struct AND type-fn binder) now
resolves the constraint to its underlying builtin via
canonicalIntConstraintName (Count -> u32, Small -> s8) before
range-checking, so an aliased integer constraint behaves exactly like
the builtin it names.
2. A named const with an expression RHS (M :: 2; N :: M + 1) did not fold
as a count — moduleConstInt read only a literal RHS node. It now folds
every const's RHS through the shared evalConstIntExpr, cycle-guarded
(mutual / self cycles fold to null, not a stack overflow), and pass-0
pre-registers expression-RHS consts. N :: M + 1 == 3 at every consumer:
dim (direct + alias), Vector lane, value-param (struct + type-fn),
inline for.
3. Stateful resolveArrayLen still fabricated length 0 after a failed fold;
it now returns null -> the .unresolved sentinel (no fabrication). The
binding's lowering never reaches sizeOf (alloca defers it; hasErrors
aborts first) and a field access on an already-diagnosed .unresolved
value is poison-suppressed (emitFieldError), so a failed-fold dim emits
ONE clean diagnostic with no panic.
Regressions: examples/0146 (full positive matrix — every consumer x leaf
form), 1135 (aliased u32 + s8 overflow), 1136 (direct non-const dim halts
cleanly). The cascade cleanup also tightened 1502/1503 to one diagnostic.
Unit test added for moduleConstInt expression-folding + cycle detection.
Item 2 (Agra ruling): a compile-time INTEGRAL float (`4.0`, `N : f64 :
4.0`, `N :: 4.0`) used as an array dimension / Vector lane / generic
value-param count / `inline for` bound now folds to its integer at the
shared leaf — `program_index.floatToIntExact`, used by both the
`.float_literal` arm of `evalConstIntExpr` and `moduleConstInt`. All four
consumers route through the one evaluator, so `[4.0]s64` lays out the same
`[4]s64` uniformly; a non-integral (`4.5`) or negative value stays
rejected by the downstream `foldDimU32` gate. Pass-0 now pre-registers
float-valued module consts for forward-alias parity with int consts.
Item 1: a generic value-param bind (`Box($K: u32)`) never range-checked
the folded arg, so `Box(5_000_000_000)` compiled and ran. The bind now
range-checks against the param's declared type — a `u32` count through the
shared `foldDimU32` gate (making program_index's "single u32 gate for
value-param counts" doc true), any other integer type through the new
`program_index.intTypeRange` — and emits a clean "value N does not fit in
u32 parameter K" otherwise. The declared type is threaded via a new
`TemplateParam.value_type`.
Regressions: examples 0145 (integral-float array dim), 1504 (Vector lane),
0611 (inline-for bound), 0209 (value-param integral-float), 1132

The stateless alias-registration array-dim path collapsed foldDimU32's
distinct .too_large / .below_min outcomes into null, so an oversized type
alias (Big :: [5000000000]s64) emitted the FALSE 'an array dimension is not
a compile-time integer constant' message while the direct form correctly
reported 'array dimension 5000000000 does not fit in u32'.
Add program_index.reportDimError as the single source of dim-error wording
(the stateful path now emits through it too) and type_bridge.foldArrayDim to
surface the DimU32 reason at the alias-registration site. An oversized/negative
alias dim now routes to reportDimError for the same precise message as the
direct form; a genuinely non-const alias dim keeps the alias-specific message.
Regression: examples/1131-diagnostics-array-dim-oversized-u32-alias.sx
Two remaining siblings in F0.4's comptime-int path.
1. Type-returning function with a value param used as a TYPE annotation
(`b : Make(N, s64)` where `Make :: ($K: u32, $T: Type) -> Type`):
- `isValueParamPosition` (semantic_diagnostics) now also skips a value
param of a `fn_ast_map` type-returning function, so `N` is not walked
as the type name "N" ("unknown type 'N'").
- `resolveParameterizedWithBindings` routes a type-returning-function
name to `instantiateTypeFunction` (the `.call` path already did).
- `instantiateTypeFunction` resolves a general return-type expression
(`return [K]T`) with bindings active — not just struct/union returns.
`Make(N, s64)`, `Make(M + 1, s64)`, `Make(3, s64)` all resolve to one
`[3]s64`.
2. Oversized dim/lane fold panicked the compiler (0087): an array dim /
Vector lane folded to a valid i64 (5e9) then narrowed to u32 with an
unchecked `@intCast`. New single gate `program_index.foldDimU32` folds
via `evalConstIntExpr` then range-checks `[min, maxInt(u32)]`; the three
narrowing sites (resolveArrayLen stateful + stateless, resolveVectorLane)
all route through it and emit a clean diagnostic + halt instead of
panicking. Value-param args stay i64 until used as a dim/lane, where the
same gate checks them.
Regressions: examples/0208 (value-param type function), examples/1130

Attempts 1–4 fixed the array-dimension paths but the same length-0
fabrication class survived on every other site that resolves a
compile-time integer. Unify them all on the single shared
`program_index.evalConstIntExpr` so they cannot diverge:
- All three Vector lane resolvers (resolveTypeCallWithBindings,
resolveParameterizedWithBindings, resolveArrayLiteralType) and both
generic value-param binders (instantiateGenericStruct,
instantiateTypeFunction) hand-rolled an `else => 0` switch. A
module-const lane `Vector(N, f32)` fabricated a 0-lane `<0 x float>`
(LLVM "huge alignment" abort); a value-param `Vec(N, f32)` fabricated
a 0 binding / wrong mangled name. They now fold through the shared
evaluator and emit a clean diagnostic + `.unresolved` on a non-const
operand (resolveVectorLane / resolveValueParamArg) — never 0.
- evalComptimeInt (inline-for bounds) delegated to the shared evaluator,
so `inline for 0..M` / `0..(M+1)` fold like array dims. The `<pack>.len`
leaf moved into the shared folder via a new `ctx.lookupPackLen`.
- The unknown-type semantic checker no longer walks a value-param
position (`Vector(N, …)` / `Vec(N, …)`) as a type name (was reporting
"unknown type 'N'").
- The parameterized-type-arg parser and the function-body lookahead
(hasFnBodyAfterArrow) accept a const-EXPRESSION in a value position, so
`Vector(M + 1, f32)` and `[M + 1]T` parse as a return type too (the
latter a pre-existing array-dim sibling that the same heuristic broke).
Regressions: examples/1501 (named-const + const-expr lane, direct +
alias, 3/4-lane reads), 1502 (runtime lane clean-halts, exit 1, no LLVM

A constant-FOLDABLE expression array dimension (`[M + 1]`, `[M * N]`,
`[N - M]`, nested `[M + N - 1]`, parenthesised `[(M + 1) * 2]`, mixing
untyped and typed module consts) was wrongly rejected as "not a
compile-time integer constant" even though every operand is
compile-time-known. Attempts 1-3 resolved only a bare named-const dim or
a literal; an expression dim must be EVALUATED, not rejected.
Fix: the shared dim resolver now routes the dimension through a single
constant integer-expression evaluator (`program_index.evalConstIntExpr`)
that folds integer `+ - * / %` and unary negate over literals and
named/typed module consts, recursively (parentheses carry no AST node).
The leaf-name lookup is delegated via `ctx.lookupDimName`, so the
stateful body-lowering path (`Lowering`, which also sees comptime
constants and generic `$N` values) and the stateless registration path
(`type_bridge.StatelessInner`, module consts only) share the EXACT SAME
folding logic and cannot diverge — an expression dim via a type alias
resolves identically to the direct form.
No-fabrication discipline unchanged: a genuinely non-comptime dimension
(runtime local, non-comptime call, unbound name) or arithmetic that
overflows / divides by zero still yields null -> `.unresolved` -> the
same clean compile-halting diagnostic, never a fabricated length.
- examples/0144-types-const-expr-array-dim.sx: every expression form,
direct vs alias, scalar / string / struct element types (fails on the
pre-fix compiler, passes after).
- examples/1129 re-pointed at a genuinely non-const dimension
(`[get()]s64`, a runtime call) so it still proves the stateless
clean-halt (a foldable expression is no longer an error).
- program_index.test.zig: unit test for evalConstIntExpr folding and
clean-halt-on-non-const.
A type alias whose dimension is a named const (`Arr :: [N]T`) resolves its
dimension eagerly during scanDecls pass 1, on the stateless registration path,
which can only read `module_const_map`. Typed consts (`N : s64 : 16`) register
only in pass 2 and a forward-declared untyped const had not registered yet, so
the stateless resolver saw an empty table, printed a non-fatal warning,
fabricated length 0, and continued — yielding a 0-byte alloca, garbage reads,
and a segfault for slice/struct elements.
- scanDecls pass 0 pre-registers every integer-valued module const before any
type alias resolves, so typed, untyped, and forward-referenced consts all
resolve identically.
- Both dim resolvers now share `program_index.moduleConstInt`, so the stateful
body-lowering path and the stateless registration path cannot diverge.
- `resolveArrayLen` returns `?u32`; `resolveCompound` yields `.unresolved` on
null instead of a 0-length array. The stateful path emits a diagnostic; the
alias-registration path surfaces an unresolved alias as a clean compile error
that aborts the build. The Vector lane-count `else => 0` is fixed the same way.
Regressions: examples/0143 (typed-const dim direct + via alias for s64/string/
struct, forward-ref alias, nested) and examples/1129 (an unresolvable computed
dim halts with a clean diagnostic + non-zero exit). Both fail on the pre-fix
compiler (garbage/segfault; warning+exit0) and pass after.
Makes the F0.4 fixes exhaustive across every resolution / nesting path.
0083 — named-const array dimension, stateless paths. Attempt 1 fixed the
stateful resolver (direct local decls, struct fields, params, returns) but the
binding-free registration-time resolver (`type_bridge`, used for type aliases
`Arr :: [N]T` and inline union/enum field types) still resolved a named dim with
a silent `else 0`, so `Arr :: [N]s64; a : Arr` and `union { a: [N]s64 }` were
still miscompiled (garbage / bus error). Thread the module-global const table
(`ProgramIndex.module_const_map`) into `type_bridge` alongside the alias map, so
`StatelessInner.resolveArrayLen` resolves a named module-const dim to the same
length everywhere. The remaining unresolvable case (a computed/comptime dim on
the binding-free path, which the stateful path hard-errors) now bails LOUDLY
instead of fabricating a 0 length.
0085 — nested slice-literal elements. `lowerArrayLiteral` lowered each element
with the element type as target but appended the raw value. A nested `.[...]`
element at a slice element type (`[][]s64`) still lowers to an aggregate array
`[N]T`, so the outer aggregate held raw arrays where slice {ptr,len} headers
were expected — indexing the inner slice read a garbage pointer and segfaulted.
After lowering each element, coerce a same-element array to the slice element
type via the existing `array_to_slice` op. The coercion recurses with the
nesting, so `[][]T` and deeper materialize at every level — local-bound AND
direct-call-argument forms.

Issues 0083 and 0085 marked RESOLVED.
Two silent-miscompile codegen fixes:
0083 — named-const array dimension. `TypeResolver.resolveCompound`'s array
arm resolved the dimension with `if int_literal ... else 0`, so a named const
(`N :: 16; [N]T`) hit the silent `else 0`: the array became 0-length / 0-byte
and element access ran out of bounds (garbage for scalars, bus error for
slice/pointer/struct elements). The arm now delegates the dimension to
`inner.resolveArrayLen` (symmetric with `inner.resolveInner` for the element).
The stateful `Lowering.resolveArrayLen` evaluates it as a compile-time integer
across the comptime-constant / generic-value / module-global const tables and
emits a diagnostic — no fabricated length — when it isn't one.
0084 — `.[...]` literal passed directly as a call arg. `lowerArrayLiteral`
always yields an aggregate array value; the array→slice conversion is the
caller's job. The local-bound var-decl path did it, but the call-arg coercion
path had no array→slice arm, so `classify([N]T, []T)` returned `.none` and the
raw array was passed where a slice was expected (callee read its {ptr,len}
header off the wrong bytes → 0 / garbage / segfault). `classify` now returns a
new `.array_to_slice` plan for same-element `[N]T → []T`, and `coerceToType`
emits the existing `array_to_slice` op — identical to the local-bound path.

Issues 0083 and 0084 marked RESOLVED.
A module-global initialized with an enum literal silently zero-initialized
to the first tag (`chosen : Color = .green` read back as `.red`), and an
enum tag inside a global array/struct was rejected as non-constant. The
constant serializer had no enum-literal arm.
Add `Lowering.constEnumLiteral`: serialize an enum literal to a
`ConstantValue.int` holding the variant's tag value, resolved against the
destination enum type and respecting explicit variant values; the global's
type drives the backing width at emit time. Wired into `globalInitValue`
(scalar global) and `constExprValue` (array element / struct field / nested
aggregate). A non-enum destination or unknown variant is diagnosed loudly,
never silently zero-initialized. The compiler-injected OS/ARCH globals now
serialize to their real `.unknown` tag (6 / 4); runtime reads are unchanged
(they resolve through comptime_constants), so only the static initializer in
the pinned .ir snapshots changes.
Remove the silent `func_ref => orelse LLVMConstNull` fallbacks in the LLVM
constant emitters: aggregate func_ref leaves carry a `require_resolved` flag
(transient null in Pass 0, loud diagnostic if still unresolved in the
Pass-1.5 re-emit), a top-level func_ref global is resolved in
initVtableGlobals, and the comptime (#run) path bails loudly instead of
emitting a null function pointer.

Mark issue 0082 RESOLVED.
A module-global aggregate initializer rejected a `null` literal in a
pointer (or optional-pointer) field as "must be initialized by a
compile-time constant". `Lowering.constExprValue` had no `.null_literal`
arm, so the null leaf returned no constant and the whole aggregate looked
non-constant — even though `null` is the compile-time zero pointer (a
top-level scalar `p : *s64 = null;` already serialized fine).
Add `.null_literal => .null_val` to constExprValue. While here, make the
two LLVM constant emitters exhaustive: emitConstAggregate and the
top-level init_val switch in emit_llvm.zig previously ended in a silent
`else => LLVMConstNull(...)` catch-all (the silent-arm class CLAUDE.md
mandates rooting out). They now handle every ConstantValue tag explicitly
(.null_val/.zeroinit -> all-zero constant, .undef -> LLVMGetUndef,
.func_ref resolved, nested .vtable is a hard @panic tripwire). The
reject-loud path for genuinely non-constant fields is preserved.
Regression: examples/0138 (array-of-struct null ptr fields, array of
all-null pointers, nested struct-in-struct null ptr) and the negative
examples/1126 (null ptr field beside a non-const field still errors).
Fail-before/pass-after verified.
A module-global array of struct literals (`pairs : [2]Pair = .[ .{...}, .{...} ]`)
was emitted as `zeroinitializer`, silently dropping every declared field — reads
returned 0 with no diagnostic. Global struct literals and struct-with-array
already worked; the gap was struct literals used as ARRAY elements.
Root cause: `Lowering.constExprValue` (the const-aggregate serializer for global
initializers) had no `.struct_literal` arm. `constArrayLiteral` serialized each
element through `constExprValue`, so a struct-literal element returned null,
collapsing the whole array initializer to null; `globalInitValue` then emitted no
payload and the LLVM backend zero-initialized the global — the same silent-zero
class as 0071/0072, one level inside an array literal.
Fix: make `constExprValue` type-aware — thread the destination element/field
TypeId so a struct-literal leaf routes through `constStructLiteral` and a nested
array-literal through `constArrayLiteral` with the correct element type.
`constArrayLiteral` derives its element type from the array TypeId;
`constStructLiteral` passes each field's type. A global aggregate initializer that
still does not fully reduce to a compile-time constant is now rejected loudly
(`diagnoseNonConstGlobal`) instead of silently zeroing. `emitConstAggregate`
already recurses over nested aggregates, so `sx run` (JIT) and `sx build` (AOT)
both materialize the declared values.
Regression: examples/0137-types-global-aggregate-literal-init.sx (global
[N]Struct literal, global struct literal, struct-with-array, nested
array-of-struct-with-array; values read back with no prior store, plus a store on
top). Fails on the pre-fix compiler (array-of-struct fields read 0), passes after.
Marks issues 0079 (already resolved) and 0080 RESOLVED.
A store to a module-global array element (`g[i] = v`) was silently dropped:
a subsequent `g[i]` read the array's initializer, not `v`. Constant index,
variable index, and cross-function stores were all affected, in both `sx run`
and `sx build`. Global scalars and local arrays were fine.
Root cause: `Lowering.lowerExprAsPtr` (the lvalue/address path) handled only
local identifiers. A module-global identifier fell through to the value
fallback `lowerExpr`, which emits `global_get` — loading the whole array by
value. The LLVM backend's `emitIndexGep` then allocas a throwaway temp, copies
the value in, and GEPs into the temp, so the store wrote a discarded copy.
Fix: teach `lowerExprAsPtr`'s identifier arm about globals — emit `global_addr`
(a pointer into the global's live storage), or `global_get` for a pointer-typed
global (mirroring the local pointer case). Route the `address_of(index_expr)`
array base through `lowerExprAsPtr` too so `&g[i]` is likewise an lvalue into
the global. `index_gep` now GEPs directly into the global for const and variable
index, across functions. This also fixes global struct field stores, which
shared the same root cause.
Regression: examples/0136-types-global-array-element-store.sx (const-index,
var-index, cross-function store on a scalar global array; struct-element array
for stride; nested-array global for the recursive lvalue). Fails on the pre-fix
compiler, passes after.
The `type_name` / `type_eq` reflection builtins resolved their Type arg's IR
type via `getRefIRType(...) orelse TypeId.s64`, then gated `== .any`. A failed
must-succeed lookup silently became `.s64` (`!= .any`), classifying a boxed
`Any` arg as bare i64 and reading the wrong value with no diagnostic.
Add the sibling classifier `LLVMEmitter.reflectArgRepr`, which routes the
lookup through `argIRTypeOrFail` (the issue-0074 `.unresolved` resolver) and
returns `{ boxed, bare, unresolved }`. The three emit sites in ops.zig
(`type_name` + `type_eq` x2) now switch on it: `.boxed` extracts the Any value
field, `.bare` uses the value directly, `.unresolved` hits a hard `@panic`
tripwire — never silently treated as bare. Real args always resolve, so the
happy path is byte-identical (suite stays 361/0, zero snapshot churn).
Secondary `lower.zig` `null_literal`/`undef_literal => target_type orelse .void`
confirmed intentional (typeless-literal default deliberately handled by
emitConstNull/emitConstUndef as null-ptr / undef-i64) — left with an invariant
comment, not the `.unresolved` tripwire.
Regression test in emit_llvm.test.zig asserts the loud path: fail-before with
`orelse .s64` yields `.bare`; pass-after yields `.unresolved`.
Relocate the two pure JNI decision helpers out of lower.zig into
jni_descriptor.zig (already the JNI helper module), alongside the descriptor
derivation. Behavior-preserving move — no facade, since neither takes *Lowering.
- jniMangleNativeName(allocator, foreign_path, method_name) and
isJniReturnTypeSupported(table, ret_ty) moved verbatim as pub free fns; added a
types import + TypeId alias to jni_descriptor.zig.
- Rerouted lower.zig's 2 call sites (synthesizeJniMainStub; the JNI return-type
guard at lower.zig:6000) through jni_descriptor.* — lower.zig already imported
the module.
- Moved the 2 unit tests lower.test.zig -> jni_descriptor.test.zig (re-pointed to
desc.*; a standalone TypeTable.init replaces the Module setup). Dropped the
now-unused lower_mod alias.
- Stayed in lower.zig per PLAN A6.2 step 5/6: jniMapParamType (trivial resolveType
wrapper), synthesizeJniMainStub(s), lowerJniCall, lowerJniConstructor,
lowerSuperCall, getJniEnvTlFids. Java rendering stays in jni_java_emit.zig.
Phase A6 complete.

Test-first scaffolding for the JNI FFI domain (Phase A6.2) before the pure

- 2 new lower.test.zig tests for the pure JNI helpers lacking unit coverage:
- jniMangleNativeName: `/`->`_` separator, `_`->`_1` escape (path AND method),
`Java_` prefix, `_sx_1` infix (2 cases lock all rules).
- isJniReturnTypeSupported: void/bool/s32/s64/f32/f64 + pointer/many-pointer

- JNI descriptor derivation (writeType/deriveMethod) is already extracted into
jni_descriptor.zig (15 tests) — not part of A6.2.
- Widened jniMangleNativeName -> pub (file-scope free fn; isJniReturnTypeSupported
already pub). Reached from the test via ir_mod.lower.*. No logic touched.
- Recorded the A6.2 coverage inventory + residual emission-bound gaps

getJniEnvTlFids stay in lower.zig; jniMapParamType is a trivial resolveType

Move the pure Obj-C decision helpers out of lower.zig into src/ir/ffi_objc.zig
behind an ObjcLowering *Lowering facade (Principle 5, like the A4/A5 resolvers).
Behavior-preserving relocation — the only non-self.l rewrites are facade
plumbing.
Moved verbatim (self. -> self.l. for Lowering members):
- deriveObjcSelector (selector derivation)
- objcTypeEncodingFromSignature + appendObjcEncoding + bailObjcEncoding +
the ObjcEncodingStack type
- objcPropertyKind + the ObjcPropertyKind enum
- isObjcClassPointer
- objcDefinedStateStructType + objcStateAllocatorType
Emission-heavy code stays in lower.zig per PLAN A6.1 step 6: emitObjc* IMP
builders, lowerObjc*Call, registerObjc*, declareObjc*, the lookupObjc* property/
state lookups, and the Self-substitution resolvers.
- Call sites rerouted through a new objc() accessor: 15 in lower.zig, 1 in
expr_typer.zig, 39 in lower.test.zig (the A6.1 scaffolding tests now drive the
facade). No Lowering wrappers kept. Barrel-wired ffi_objc + ObjcLowering.
- No new visibility widening beyond sub-step 1's two pubs — the facade reads
self.l.{alloc,module,program_index,diagnostics} (fields) + the already-pub
resolveType. lower.zig -478 (->16615); ffi_objc.zig 428.
- Doc-only re-home: the property-IMP getter/setter comment was attached (a
pre-existing artifact) to the moving ObjcPropertyKind enum, two decls away from
its real subject emitObjcDefinedClassPropertyImps (which had no doc). Re-homed
it there so the move neither orphans a `///` block (Zig errors on a dangling doc
comment) nor misattributes it to ensureArcRuntimeDecls.

Move the diagnostic-only Pass 1e (ERR E1.7 cleanup-absorption + E1.8 value-slot
liveness) out of lower.zig into src/ir/error_flow.zig behind an ErrorFlow
*Lowering facade (Principle 5, like ErrorAnalysis/CoercionResolver). Behavior
preserved exactly — pure relocation.
Moved verbatim (self. -> self.l. for Lowering members; sibling calls stay on the
facade; provenHas is a file-local free fn): checkErrorFlow, analyzeFnBody,
flowWalk, flowStmt, flowIf, flowMatch, flowExpr, applyRefinement,
provenAdd/provenClone/provenIntersect, registerFailableDestructure,
checkCleanupBody/checkCleanupNode/cleanupReject, plus the FlowCtx/ProvenSet types.
- lowerRoot routes the single call site through
self.errorFlow().checkErrorFlow(decls); no Lowering wrapper kept (only the
pipeline calls it, no unit-test caller). New errorFlow() accessor.
- The pass takes AST decls + ProgramIndex + diagnostics only — independent of IR
Builder state (PLAN-ARCH A5.2 success criterion).
- New pub: exprIsFailable (only widening; inferExprType/errorChannelOf already
pub). lower.zig -389 (->17030); error_flow.zig 407. Barrel-wired in ir.zig.
- No .test.zig: diagnostic-pass altitude (functions return only bool + emit
diagnostics) — guarded by example anchors 1046-1053 (incl. scaffolding
1051/1052/1053). Phase A5 complete.
